I am an experienced, creative event producer specialising in the arts and visual industries. I have run my own business for over a decade delivering varied productions that have required a strong design aesthetic and great attention to detail. Prior to that I applied my degrees and passionate art interests by working with designers, photographers and arts organisations. I have developed good communication and people skills, working with talented teams to deliver appropriate projects to discerning clients to deadline and budget.
Projects
- 'The Asylum Jean Dubuffet' an installation for Frieze Masters 2015, Helly Nahmad Gallery LondonI produced this creative installation with Designer Robin Brown as a fictional recreation of the asylums that Jean Dubuffet visited in France in the 1940s. The piece aimed to give a context for Dubuffet's practice and inspirations. We collaborated with a number of talented artists and craftsmen to create the installation and accompanying sound track.
- 'The Collector' An installation for Frieze Masters 2014, Helly Nahmad Gallery LondonAn immersive, narrative installation that I produced and which was designed by Robin Brown for which we created a 1968 Parisian apartment of a reclusive collector. The installation showed seminal C20th art amongst the very private, intimate possessions of this fictional collector. We created a film for the piece that was shown on vintage TVs along with an accompanying sound installation.
